Description[?]:
| Daniela Cusin, Minister of Trade and Industry: "The Government is glad to integrate the project of law of the ex deputy Nadia Assunti, of PSLI, in the Verhoeven II's Government program. As already explained by the Hon. Assunti, this is a reform of the current policy concerning child labour. Obviously, certainly we don't want allow the exploitation of children by the world of work. Our attention is now directed to all those young teenagers, eager to have some economic independence, eager to support their little spending but also we are thinking about all those teenagers which, finished their professional formation at 16 years old, want to find a job, a real job, and with the current legislation until their 18 years old they can only accept internships and not remunerated apprenticeships. And yet, we would like invigorate the co-operation between schools and the world of work by providing internships and other forms of cooperation to accompany the courses of study, and my party already acted in this sense when it proposed the "P.d.l. 06/87 - Professional Schooling Reform" (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=484371), and we want introduce protections for this matter, to avoid exploitation of the underage workers during the school-working world cooperations. Obviously, the matter requires careful and precise regulation and for this reason I present with the reform also an "Underage Employement Regulatory Text (UERT)" whit which set the appropriate safeguards and limitations in defense of minor workers. The text will provide what kind of jobs the underage workers will be allowed to do and in what kind of conditions: - Only minors who are at least 14 years can enter into working world, but when it is cultural, artistic, sports, advertising and entertainment industry working activities, minors of 16 years old can work but only with the written consent of the parents and with the authorization of the National Labour Inspectorate. - Minors can not perform jobs that potentially could arrest the full physical development - Minors can not perform jobs classified as dangerous and high intensive. - Minors can not perform jobs classified as high responsibility. - To minors is prohibited carry out the work at night from 23 to 7 o' clock unless it is a cultural, artistic or sports activity and the work does not exceed midnight, but exceptionally and for the strictly necessary time, they can be used for night work in cases of force majeure which hinder the operation of the company, provided that such work is temporary and does not allow any delay, adult workers are not available and are granted equivalent compensatory rest periods within three weeks. The employer must also give immediate notice to the National Labour Ispectorate. - Minors must be guaranteed a rest period of at least two days a week, if possible consecutive and including Sunday. The minimum rest period may be reduced for justified technical and organizational order, but in no case be less than 36 consecutive hours. The rest periods may be interrupted in the case of activities involving periods of split or short duration work in the day. It also foresees the possibility to grant the weekly rest also on different days from Sunday to minors employed in working activities of cultural, artistic, sports or advertising or in the entertainment industry as well, with exclusive reference to adolescents, in tourism, hospitality or catering. - To be able to start to work the teenager has to undergo a medical check before to begin and to regular check during the work period. - Maximum workingtime 8 hours/day for those minors which have finished their school courses gaining a professional degree. - Maximum workingtime 6 hours/day for those with no professional degree. - Maximum workingtime 6 hours/week for those involved in school-working world cooperation programs. - The job, if out of schooling programs, shall not interfere with school courses and with the child right to the study, but these minors can follow home schooling at the request of the parents and with the consent of the National Inspectorate of Education. - The provisions of the UERT does not apply to teenagers (>14) employees in occasional or short-term jobs concerning domestic service in the family and performance of work not harmful or detrimental or dangerous in family businesses. |
